As a rule of thumb, whenever handling any firearm, treat the weapon as if it is loaded and be mindful of the muzzle of the firearm at all times! "I didn't know it was loaded" isn't an excuse and can't undo mistakes!

Before proceeding with this repair, be sure to clear the firearm of ammunition. Check, double check, and triple check to make sure there isn't a bullet in the chamber!

The Taurus G2C has a handy Loaded Chamber Indicator to show if there's a bullet in the chamber. Even if it's not showing loaded doesn't mean you should not check!

After making sure the weapon is clear -no bullet in the chamber- , release the striker by pulling the trigger. This releases the tension on the striker and allows the slide to come forward.

Pull the slide back just a hair to release the tension on the disassembly latches. Pull downward on the disassembly latches on both sides while holding rearward pressure on the slide, then release the pressure on the slide.

The recoil spring assembly is on the bottom of the barrel. It is held in place by the spring's own tension against a notch in the barrel (2nd picture) and its slot in the end of the slide.

While holding the slide with the muzzle pointing away from you, put your thumb or index finger on the rear-facing portion of the recoil spring assembly. Push the assembly forward to free it from the tension against the barrel, then release the tension and pull it out of its slot in the slide.
